i am not sure what to ask.

i install a 280zx motor(P90A head/F54 block). the car overheated. i gues its because of the burst rubber hose but the mechanic said its because i use a wrong head gasket. My question is what year 280zx should i say and should i say it has turbo. i dont know..

i bought the head from a junk yard and i did not see a turbo on the car, and i bought the F54 short block from a Z-car person in glendale. The mechanic said that i need more holes on the gasket.

what year should i say the motor is when the part store ask for the year of the car?

P90 head came out in 81-82. The P-90A was an 83 head. Both were used on the turbo cars.

Don't think there is a difference in the head gaskets, so ask for a 81-83 turbo and you should get one that is the right one.
